In this practical workshop Peter Morton, Artistic Director of Half a String, will introduce the mechanics behind the puppets and props used in their award winning puppetry shows.

This will include taking apart the puppets and props used in the production of The Snowsmith, performing at Lakeside Arts this Christmas. Participants will then be shown how the puppets work, how to up-keep them, and then practically implement this with the owl, goat and whale puppets from The Snowsmith, as well as other props used in the show.

Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move around in.
